The futurists, a group of Italian artists working between 1909 and 1916, shared Fernand Léger's enthusiasm for technology, but pushed it even further.
3
Filippo Marinetti's first manifesto of futurism appeared in 1909 , until the end of World War I.
Futurists embraced all that glorified new technology and mechanization and decried anything that had to do with tradition.
4
Celebration of the machine age, glorifying war and favoring the growth of fascism.
Futurists declared a speeding automobile to be more beautiful than an ancient Greek statue.
5
Painting and sculpture were especially concerned with expressing movement and the dynamics of natural and man-made forms.
6
Some of these ideas, including the use of modern materials and technique, were taken up later by Marcel Duchamp (French, 1887-1968), the cubists, and the constructivists.

Russian artistic and architectural movement that was first influenced by Cubism and Futurism
Generally considered to have been initiated in 1913 with the “painting reliefs”—abstract geometric constructions—of Vladimir Tatlin.
17
Russian sculptors Antoine Pevsner and Naum Gabo joined Tatlin and his followers in Moscow.
18
Upon publication of their jointly written Realist Manifesto in 1920 they became the spokesmen of the movement.
19
It is from the manifesto that the name Constructivism was derived.
One of the directives that it contained was “to construct” art.
20
aim was to construct abstract sculpture suitable for an industrialized society,
work pioneered the use of modern technology and materials such as wood, glass, plastics and steel.
21
introduced to Western Europe by Antoine Pevsner in Paris, and his brother Naum Gabo in Germany.
principles of Constructivism were highly influential in twentieth century Western art, although for political reasons its influence in Russia ended by 1921.
